Black and White skittle
My Black and White nails, I couldn’t resist another skittle for this! 😀
The Polishes I used are,
- China Glaze White on White
- Elegant Touch French Manicure White
- Sally Hansen Pure Midnight
- Filthy Gorgeous Twilight
- L’Oreal Confettis
- Konad SP Black
My first step was to paint all my nails with two coats of White on White.
For my thumb I used Twilight and White on White. Starting with a simple french tip, (I used a guide) I added the first dots with a medium dotting tool, then with a thin brush I filled in the gaps, then added the second dots with a small sized dotting tool.
For my index finger over the White on White I used Konad Black with Suki 06 XL plate from Moyou.

On my middle finger I used French Manicure White, Pure Midnight and Twilight for the sponged gradient, it took three layers before it was ‘gradienty’ enough then I added the Confettis, I found the brush for the glitter topcoat was rather scratchy, I don’t know if it was bits of glitter in the brush or the brush itself, it scraped some of my gradient 😦
For the water marble I used French Manicure White and Twilight. Both of these polishes worked really well, they even spread over the water at the same rate! 😀
Finally for my little finger I used some more Twilight and a medium dotting tool!
Then when it was dry I applied my topcoat and had a cup of tea!

Purple Waterfall Nails
Here are my violet/purple nails for day 6
For this waterfall mani I used
- China Glaze – Bizarre Blurple
- Illamasqua- Faux Pas
- Max Factor – Fantasy Fire
- Color Club – Secret Agent
- Sally Hansen – Ruby Sapphire
- Sinful Colors – Mauve
Purple Waterfall
I started with a base of two coats of Mauve from Sinful colors, then I added the other purple colored polishes with a thin nail art brush.
I really like waterfall nails, it really is such an easy (if a little time consuming) technique 🙂

Turquoise Nails
After having a quick hunt about on the interwebs for blue nails trying to get some inspiration I came across loads of pictures of Turquoise gem stone nails, and this is my attempt at them! 🙂
For this I started with two coats of Air-kiss from Filthy Gorgeous which is a lovely mid blue cream.
Turquoise Water Spotted Nails
Then when it was dry I used cling film (saran wrap) to apply Catwalk Couture from Seventeen which is a slightly paler blue cream polish, along with a couple of drops each of Golden from Revlon and Antiquated from Color Club, and a tiny bit of Blue-Topia a dark blue jelly also from Color Club I put them all onto a plate and swirled the polishes around a little then gently dabbed the mixture onto my nails.

Then using Twilight from Filthy Gorgeous (which is also a really good black for water marbling)Â I used the water spotting technique to apply the black, and I should probably stop using my expensive perfume to do water spotting, but my nails smell lovely after lol!
Then I used Color Club Topcoat, and unfortunately ended up with a little bit of dragging on my thumb 
I’m definitely going to be doing this again, hopefully when I can keep my nail art on for longer than 24 hours! 😀

Green Splatter Nails
Here a are my green nails for day 4! I really couldn’t decide on which polishes to use, So I ended up using nearly all of them (well the green ones)
I used
- Sinful Colors – Pistache
- Color Club – Artsy Crafty
- Barry M – Acid Yellow
- 2True Metallica – Arete
- Sinful Colors – Rise And Shine
- China Glaze – OMG a UFO
- Color Club – Perfect Mol-Ten
- Zoya – Logan
- Sally Hansen – Grass Slipper
I started with two coats of base coat (green stains my nails more than any other colour) then a coat of Pistache.
After that had dried, using a cotton bud (q tip) with the ends cut off I blew the green polishes onto my nails.
I alternated between light and dark shades to make sure there was a good mix of green!
All Of The Green!
This was really messy and took ages to clean up but it was a lot of fun! 😀

Maybelline Electric Yellow and China Glaze White On White
Here are my yellow nails for day 3 of the 31DC2014 challenge.
for this I started with three coats of Electric Yellow from Maybelline Color Show, then I used White On White from China Glaze for the freehand V shaped french tips, then I added the dots with a medium sized dotting tool!
This was a really quick and easy design to do (which I’m really glad about, I probably should have thought through doing two challenges at the same time!)

I still don’t like yellow

GOT Polish Pastel
Here are my Pastel nails for today’s GOT Polish Challenge!
For this I decided to have a try at water spotted nails and it was surprisingly easy! 😀 The Polishes I used are Lathering Lilac which is another of the free ones (that I haven’t used) from Bizzybee and Pink Flamingo from Barry M
I started with two coats of Lathering Lilac, when that was dry I used Pink flamingo for the water spotting. I have to say it’s a really fun technique, loads easier than water marbling!
Then when that was dry I applied a coat of color club top coat, then a final coat of Matte Finisher from Elf
Water Spotted Nails
Don’t forget to have a look at the GOT Polish Challenge Pinterest Page! 😀
